Thanks for the reply. Ironically, I've already used been using LinuxPCC,
YDL, and most recently SuSE on the PPC platform (the first two for over a
year now). This really seems like a driver problem to me, but I hoped that
someone might have gotten it working somehow. I'm fairly familiar with
building, configuring, and using the X Window system in general as well as
XFree86.
I'll definitely forward any off-list responses or personal successes that I
get to the list.
